I'm curious as to how streaming is affecting TV production; a large number of people I know tend to catch up at the end of a season instead of following it week-by-week, and I wonder how that affects funding and cancellation.

I have never heard of Battle Star Galactica(?) before. Is it any good?

I really enjoyed it. I think it fulfilled a hole that I had in my sci-fi/fantasy fandom with a tv series that centered around a fighter squad. Some of the series goes a little bit out there, but the rest makes those parts worth the watch. I didn't watch it when it was originally out but watched later.

He's talking about the Games/RPG forum, guys, the one that deals solely with dice-based RPGs proper. At least that's what I suspect. Dajuan and friends still run a couple of dice-based Stars Wars RPGs there, but it's much more a sort of chat-style play -- no descriptive writing, no description as such, mostly just results of dice rolls, which is what distinguishes it from gaming here.

Chunkey, we'll talk all kinds of RPG here, but basically we play freeform, "systemless" RPG for the most part, with a couple of exceptions (notably, my D&D campaigns.)

Ok so you had a bad experience, but that doesn't mean you don't try again. A lot of the ti me in a game you're not with everyone who is playing the RP and you're in groups. That makes things easier for the players to interact and the GM.

well, actually well, im not going to go into why i left, because it involves my parents and some issues they had with another player. i want to start again, i just dont know where to go or what i want to play.

Well, the big thing is to look around and see which premises you like, then contact the GM in question. Barring those cases where the game is only open to a small number of players, I'm sure they'd be willing to help you get into the game.

Yeah see its no fun when people bring drama into games. Leave all that stuff at the door and just have fun. And while e-parents are cool and all, don't let them drag you into their problems. That's not the way to conduct oneself on the boards here. You'll miss out on a lot if you do allow them to drag you down.
